Wingman / Peacekeeper, the assault
What is this combination? The combination of the Wingman pistol and the Peacekeeper shotgun is often used by streamers, even though at least the shotgun has already caused frustration. It combines tremendous firepower in itself, but requires accurate targeting from the shooter.
In which situation is it useful? Both weapons are most effective at shorter and short-to-medium distances. They are particularly useful if you play aggressively and want to harass the opponents. Use them in offensive setups with good chances to attack.
These are the advantages:
- both weapons can use a Threat Detector, which also lets you see enemies through smoke
- Enormous damage can knock opponents down in a few shots
These are the disadvantages:
- If you are not aiming, you quickly lose an encounter because of the proximity to your opponent
- For maximum effectiveness, you need the Hop Ups Precision Choke and Skullpiercer
- Both weapons can be found less frequently through a balance patch
Alternatives: EVA-8 or R-99 instead of the Peacekeeper

With the Longbow you can pick up unprotected enemies. The Wingman, who is also high up in our animal list, will cover you if you are ambushed.
